Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that can be caused by a variety of factors. The main causes of asthma are:

Genetics: Asthma tends to run in families, and there are certain genetic factors that can increase the risk of developing asthma.

Environmental factors: Exposure to environmental factors such as air pollution, allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and animal dander can cause asthma.

Respiratory infections can trigger asthma symptoms in some people

Exercise: Exercise-induced asthma is a common form of asthma that is triggered by physical activity.

Complications that can arise in patients with asthma include:

Severe asthma attacks: In some cases, asthma attacks can be severe and require emergency treatment.

Respiratory infections: People with asthma are more susceptible to respiratory infections, which can exacerbate their asthma symptoms.

Reduced lung function: Over time, poorly controlled asthma can lead to reduced lung function.

People with asthma can lead a healthy lifestyle by:

Taking their asthma medications as prescribed by their doctor.

Avoiding triggers: Identifying and avoiding triggers that can cause asthma symptoms, such as allergens and irritants.

I highly recommend breathing exercises and yoga for better health.

Eating a healthy diet: A healthy diet can help maintain overall health and reduce the risk of complications associated with asthma.

Vaccination: People with asthma should receive regular immunization against flu virus and also vaccination against pneumonia causing microorganisms.

Managing stress: Stress can exacerbate asthma symptoms, so it’s important for people with asthma to find ways to manage stress, such as through relaxation techniques or counseling.
